or (1.45) should get us off to a good start in the Placepot as they are drawn well and handle cut in the ground.

They will carry plenty of the pool with them, of course, and so will in the second leg (2.15). He is the best horse in the race by some way on official figures and trainer Aidan O'Brien's three runners in this in the past ten years have finished 112.

The are plenty of fancied horses drawn high in the Chester Cup (2.45) but that's not the way I want to play it. Cardano (stall 1), has a bit to prove with cut in the ground and I doubt Hochfeld (2) truly gets the trip but (3) certainly does, and he goes in with (7) and stablemate (8).

In the 3.15, course winner has first-time-out form figures of 1221 over the last four seasons and is nicely treated at the weights, so looks banker material despite two places being on offer.

Course specialist (3.45) is likely to go well and is joined by , who has run well here and on easy ground.

The Chester Plate completes the action and I'll go with two again, starting with the interesting for Venetia Williams. , who enjoys cut and stays well, is worth including.
